Little Village (birth - K)
In our Preschool ministry (ages birth-K), we strive to create the first building blocks of a strong, gospel-centered foundation for our children. We teach from the Scriptures and help parents proclaim to their kids who God is and what He has done in the person and work of Jesus Christ. During the weekends, in Little Village, we sing, dance and teach the Bible to the kids, focusing on our five foundational truths: God made everything, God is in charge of everything, God is good, Jesus came to save sinners, and God wants to talk with us.
Our volunteers are required to be trained and screened, and we maintain strict teacher-to-child ratios to ensure safe care. For health standards, children must be free from fever or symptoms of contagious disease for 24 hours. Let us know of any allergies or medical conditions your child may have.
Baby Dedication
When dedicating your baby, you celebrate a commitment to raise your child in the ways of the Lord. You also commit to joining a community of believers who help you and hold you accountable. To help equip we provide a baby dedication booklet to guide you through hosting your own baby dedication with friends and family.
Kids Village (1st - 5th grade)
In our Elementary ministry (1st-5th grade), we work to continue building up a strong, gospel-centered foundation for our children. We do this by teaching our kids about the nature and character of God—that He is wise, generous, loving and good. Our hope is to partner with parents in the discipleship of their children by creating environments, curriculum and resources that center on the gospel of Jesus Christ. On the weekends, in Kids Village, we worship through song, tell stories from the Bible and gather in small groups by age to talk about Scripture together.

Child Baptism
We treat the baptism of children with special care and have created a class to help parents of 1st – 5th graders walk through the process with their children. The class lasts three weeks, and you must attend all three classes. If your child expresses interest in baptism, please get in touch with our Next Gen staff to talk about next steps.
Middle School/High School
In our Student Ministry (6th-12th grade), we seek to keep building gospel maturity in our students and help them grow in deeper relationships with each other, their leaders and, most importantly, the Lord. Our Student Ministry is part of our Next Gen Ministry and is led by trained adult leaders, our groups meet to foster community, accountability and friendships.
For more information about our ministry to Middle and High School students, please contact Andre Rose.
Baptism
We treat the baptism of students with special care and want to help parents walk through the process with their children. If your middle or high schooler expresses interest in baptism, set up an interview with our staff so we can help you determine next steps.
Children's Check In
Little Village, our ministry to preschoolers (birth-Kindergarten) is available for all three of our worship services. Kids Village, our ministry to elementary students (1st-5th grade) is offered at 9:00 and 11:15.
Check-in for families begins 15 minutes before each service starts. If you’re visiting for the first time, you will be asked to fill out a registration card so that we can place your child in the appropriate class room. Once checked in, you will receive security stickers for your child(ren). The stickers serve two purposes:
- Parent Paging – If we need you during service, the number on your sticker will be displayed.
- Child Pick-up – You must present your portion of the sticker before we release your child.
